Dez Malone brings veteran versatility and ball skills to Oklahoma’s secondary
In the 2024 season, Dez Malone gave Oklahoma a steady veteran presence at cornerback, playing in 11 games with six starts and finishing with 27 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, and two pass breakups. He stands out for his size, experience, and positional flexibility—he can help at corner or safety—and he’s already shown ball production, including three interceptions in the 2022 season at San Diego State. For a team, that mix of experience, physicality, and scheme adaptability is exactly the kind of low-drama, high-value DB profile coaches love.
